Sling first night

[colin haris]

Hey all

I got my first curly sling today , and on taking the advice of Elaine Ross (if your reading this HELLO ) i put him/her into a small container 3inches by 2 inches and all is well, the only thing im worried about now is...
do i put such a small container on the heating mat...or would it cook the little guy in such a small area?....any ideas?

I'd put the container in a larger container if you've got one. A tank belonging to a larger specimen would be ideal, as long as the little tank is escape / intruder proof.


All our slings are in individual pots, inside one big heated viv.

thank you for your help....i'll sleep a little easier now.

I've managed to raise my curly sling to 4th molt with no heat mat and its in a small tank,the size that microwave meals come in. (Its a lot bigger than people normally recommend but he's happy enough)It is then sat on top of the modem which does a fine job of warning the tank and when i add water the humidity goes up too.
